	One fine Sunday afternoon John and his wife, Betty, went out to their
country club for a round of golf. (This was a very progressive club indeed, as
women were allowed on the course on the weekend!)  Their game progressed well
until John hit a terrible tee shot on the 17th hole, the ball landing such that
a watering shed was between the ball and the green.
	John looked over the lie, then came up with an idea.  He told Betty,
"You stand inside the shed and hold the door open; I'll hit the ball through 
the door then out the window on the other side of the shed - that should lay me
up for just a short chip onto the green!"  So Betty did as her husband
instructed, waiting patiently inside the shed while John, a very meticulous
golfer, prepared to make his shot.  Now John wanted to make the shot just right,
so he took his time, but Betty wondered what was going on, so she poked her
head out the door.
	At that instant John hit the ball - it struck Betty on the temple,
killing her instantly!
  
	After taking care of funeral arrangements and the like, John was 
emotionally exhausted.  To relieve the tension, Harry suggested they go out
for a round of golf the next Sunday.  So they did.
	All went well until the 17th hole, when Harry's tee shot landed
behind the SAME watering shed!  Harry examined the lie, then exlaimed,
"I know!  John, you stand inside the shed and hold the door open - I'll
hit through the shed, out the window, and should land within a few inches
of the pin!" (Harry had more confidence in his game than John!).
	Well, this sounded all too familiar to John, who declared, "No, that's
a terrible idea.  I tried that last week, and look what happened - I ended up 
with a 7 on the hole!!!"
